Hello and welcome. Glad you are interested in the challenge. The short answer is "not this time". Usually we make either a defined palette challenges or colour limit challenges. Rarely some weird combo of those two - like, for example, allowing some colour addition.

This time it would make the challenge pointless. You could just add one pixel with a very aggressive colour on top of the greyscale palette and cheese the challenge. The whole point this time is to make that single pixel stand out by the way you draw around it. 

Hope you will have fun, but if this is not what you are looking for than no worries. Stay tuned for future challenges with different palette settings.

Sorry, I'm new here. Can the color palette be altered, at least in tone, or is it strictly the colors that appear? (Google Translate grammar)
